The issue that I am having is that I need to update page numbers based on data in the page header. What I am trying to do is create a packing slip. All the customer and order information is in the page header. I need to reset the pages if there is more than one page for an order. Right now, I am getting the number of N of M pages, but M is the total number of pages for all orders (example 1 of 18 pages, because there are 17 orders and one order is two pages long). I want it to be 1 of 1 of there is only one order for the packing slips, but 1 of 2 if there is more than one page. Does this make sense? Any ideas? Thanks

  • Is all of the displayed info contained in the page header? Nothing in the Details section, page footer, etc.? – Ryan Jan 03 '12 at 21:00

Try this:

  • Right Click the page footer in the left margin
  • Click SECTION EXPERT
  • Click the FORMULA BUTTON to the right of RESET PAGE NUMBER AFTER PageNumber = 2

Assuming you are grouping by order number and starting a new page for each new order - by having checked the New Page After option in the Section Expert for the group footer - then you can check the option to Reset Page Number After in the Section Expert for the group footer.

  • That worked. I made group one the order number and then reset page number after the group footer. Thanks for your help. – Melanie Jan 04 '12 at 17:54
